special fundraising events

JCC Manhattan hosts special events each year to help us reach our fundraising goals and guarantee that our programs are available to everyone in our community. The JCC provides approximately half a million dollars in financial assistance to children, students, families, seniors, and others in our community who would otherwise be unable to participate in our programs. By supporting our annual fundraising events, you are helping the JCC continue to make this possible.

We are grateful for the support of businesses and corporations who have supported our special events. If you are a business owner or corporate representative interested in learning more about event sponsorship opportunities, please contact specialevents@jccmanhattan.org.
